Paleo Magazine Radio

Paleo Magazine Radio brings you Paleo nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle perspectives from both the experts and the everyday. PMR is brought to you by Paleo Magazine, the only print magazine dedicated to the Paleo lifestyle, and is hosted by Ashleigh VanHouten.

When Doctor Polina Sayess attended the 2012 Ancestral Health Symposium in Boston Massachusetts, she immediately wondered how many other physicians were in attendance.

She reached out to the event organizers who helped set up an informal meet and greet outside the conference hall and in that moment, the Physicians for Ancestral Health organization was formed.

The group, made up of practicing physicians, medical students, and residents from a wide range of specialties, share information online through their Physicians for Ancestral Health Facebook group and in person at their very own annual conference.

This year's event will be held Thursday, January 19th through Saturday, January 21st in Miami Florida, and Tony will be there covering the show for Paleo Magazine as well as presenting on the subject of media and content creation for Health professionals.

On today's Paleo Radio Bite, we talk to Dr. Sayess about:

Her experiences working as a family physician.

How Ancestral Health has informed her practice.

The limited education in nutrition most practitioners receive.

How both patients and practitioners benefit from having a physician who is Ancestrally minded.

It is thought that Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine once said that "all disease begins in the gut" and while we can't exactly prove that Hippocrates actually said that, modern science has begun to discover that whoever said it was right!

When we take in food, or the evolutionarily novel food-like substances sold at most restaurants and grocery stores, an entire cascade of reactions, absorptions, and outcomes occur. If we are eating biologically appropriate foods, our body will break then down, separate essential nutrients, feed the microbiome, nourish, rebuild, and repair our body, and eventually eliminate the waste products. But, If we go for the food-like substances,we disrupt vital tissues, irritate the immune system, and ultimately create disease.

On today's episode of Paleo Magazine Radio, we have an incredible conversation with someone who works on the front lines of this battle between our bodies and the ersatz foodstuffs that make up much of our diet, his name is Dr. Chad Larson and he's a trained chiropractor who also works for Cyrex labs, a clinical testing laboratory that provides high quality testing services for clinicians.

Cyrex labs assays can help detect leaky gut, gluten and other protein sensitivities, autoimmune and pathogen reactivity, and even blood-brain barrier permeability.

In the Outside Magazine article "The Workout Time Forgot", world-renowned movement expert Erwan Le Corre said that "We live like zoo animals!" and that we are essentially wild creatures ill-suited to desk jobs and processed foods.

He says that "We have become divorced from nature, trapped in colorless boxes,"and that "We have lost our adaptability, and it's threatening our health and longevity."

We all spend more than enough time in boxes, sedentary, motionless, but even when we know the benefit of getting up, going outside, and moving our bodies, getting out of the box can be difficult and potentially fraught if you are stiff, tight, imbalanced, and out of shape.

This is where Personal trainers, or more specifically, movement coaches come in.

On today's Paleo Radio Bite we talk to movement coach Jenn Pilotti, owner of a private training studio in Carmel, California.

In our conversation we discuss:

Her favorite functional movements.

Overcoming movement fears.

The difference between kick-ups, frogger's, and other handstand progressions.

Imagine that you haven't been feeling well. Imagine that you go to the doctor, and after they review your symptoms they tell you that there is some very bad news. Imagine that you are told that you have an incurable illness.

What do you do?

Frankly, we don't think there is any "right" response to this kind of news. It's presumptuous and disrespectful to assume that we know what is good and right for someone else. Nevertheless, it’s hard not to be inspired by stories that suggest we have a choice.

A choice to give in or fight on

A choice to face darkness in the search of light

A choice to live, or die.

After being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks nerve cells causing pain and other debilitating symptoms, Natalie Shultz was ready to make her choice, and in our conversation we discuss:

How she discovered that she had MS.

What MS is, what causes it, and how it can be controlled.

The limitations of conventional treatment options.

How the Wahl's protocol changed her life.

Why cheating on her diet isn't an option and how she channeled her desire to help others into the creation of the world's healthiest cups and water bottles.
